Made famous Off-Broadway and in the 1973 film starring Victor Garber,
Godspell, Stephen Schwartz's first musical, returns to Broadway for the first time since 1977. The loose-knit exploration of the parables of Jesus stars Hunter Parrish ("Weeds,"
Spring Awakening) leading an ensemble that includes Lindsay Mendez (
Everyday Rapture) and Telly Leung (
Rent, "Glee"). The rock musical features the fan-favorites "Save the People," "Light of the World," "Beautiful City," "All Good Gifts" and the pop hit "Day By Day." For a new generation, Daniel Goldstein (in his Broadway directing debut) stages the show in the round, pulling surprises out of trap doors within the stage at Circle in the Square. Click
